Question

A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angle with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will be

Answer 1

Answer:

will be perpendicular to the magnetic field f= qvb .sin theta

Answer 2

Answer:

The path of the particle will be helical because the component along the direction of magnetic field will not be affected and that will lead the particle to move straight in that direction, whereas due to the perpendicular component of velocity a magnetic force will be experienced due to which it'll follow circular path in the other dimension.

So, in total it'll follow a spring kind of trajectory which is named as a helix or a helical path.
